What is better, IT in VSSUT Burla or in CET BBSR?

SS
Savi Sharma Posted On : October 12th, 2023

VSSUT and CET are both autonomous universities. Here are some insights on pursuing B.Tech IT at these two-

VSSUT is much older. This makes it a bigger brand. But in terms of location, CET is a clear winner. VSSUT is located in the small town of Burla.

Burla has no direct air connectivity, and the fastest mode of transport is a 6 hour train journey from Bhubaneswar. Thus, top recruiters hesitate to visit the campus for placements. But the placement stats are good. The students miss out on competitive events and internship opportunities because of the distance from Bhubaneswar. 

CET is the only government institute in Bhubaneswar other than IIIT. More recruiters visit its campus during placement season. Samsung, Dell and Toshiba are some of the top companies that visit the CET campus. 

In terms of academics, VSSUT offers a flexible curriculum. This allows IT students to opt for a few advanced subjects. CET on the other hand, has a rigid course curriculum. In any case, make sure to polish your coding skills for a successful career in IT. 

To conclude, pursue your B.Tech IT from the institution that best suits your personal preferences.

What should I take, IT in IEM or CSE in Heritage Institute of Technology?

SM
Sayantani Mukherjee Posted On : September 27th, 2021
Studied at Heritage Institute of Technology, Kolkata

In terms of college, IEM and HIT both provide similar career opportunities in the IT sector. Major recruiters like TCS, Infosys, CTS, Capgemini from the IT sector visit both the institutes. 

If you had to pick between the two engineering fields, you should always go with CS. If you select CS, you will be able to apply for a variety of government/public sector positions (ISRO, BARC, IOCL) after completing your B.tech. Only CS guys are qualified to apply for the majority of these government jobs. 

Parameters  IEM Heritage Institute of Technology in Kolkata
Tuition fees (B.Tech) 5.88 lakhs 3.93 lakhs 
Average CTC  INR 5-6 LPA INR 3.75 LPA
Highest CTC  72 LPA  16 LPA 

As you will get similar opportunities you can choose either. Also, outside of WB, no one cares if you're from IEM or HIT. Unless you're from JU, everything is the same.

Why is the cutoff rank of the IIIT Allahabad IT branch so low (4550 as of 2017) when it is comparable to CS in other NITs and some IITs?

AR
Anupama Rawat Posted On : March 9th, 2021
B.Tech from Indian Institute of Information Technology, Allahabad (2021)

My younger sister has enrolled in the CSE program at NIT and it has excellent facilities for the program. The brand name of NIT and IIT is still more popular for some of the engineering aspirants because they lack awareness. Even my sister thought so before admissions, but NIT ranks #16 on the NIRF Engineering scale, IIIT A ranks #103, and IITs are usually in the top 5 in the same. 

Furthermore, your decision may change based on the following-

  • The location of IIIT Allahabad is a factor contributing to its low popularity. It is located in a small village area called Jhalwa. There are no recreational facilities around and the only eating outlets are MacDonald's and Dominoes, which harm in the long run.
  • The placement statistics of IIIT A show that it has a good 96% placement rate, but not many top companies come to visit because of the location. Networking is not an issue, but an institute in a developed area would have easy accessibility, lectures by renowned faculty, spots of refreshment; which are not present here.
  • The hostels are not very good and those who reside in them, face difficulties related to social outings.
  • Another fact of importance is that this institute has only two departments: Information Technology and Electronics and Communication.

You can see below, the comparatives of the institutes:

What should be my best pick, CSE at MNIT Jaipur or IT at MNNIT Allahabad?

Sapna Malik updated Posted On : October 10th, 2023

Both the colleges are well-renowned. But there are certain things I would like to bring to your notice-

As per college rankings, MNNIT is the top NIT in North India. It witnesses very good placements in IT/CSE. The average package for IT is almost at par with that for CSE. This year, the average package was around 24 LPA for IT and 27 LPA for CSE. The CSE students at MNIT Jaipur receive comparatively way lower packages. 

At MNNIT, CS, and IT students have the same curriculum till 2nd year. Even after the 2nd year, only 1 or 2 subjects are different. The coding culture is great, and coders perform really well on various platforms like CodeChef, HackerEarth, Hackerrank, etc. 

I would recommend you choose IT at MNNIT Allahabad.

Is LNCT Bhopal good for IT?

MG
Mohini Gupta Posted On : May 28th, 2021
studied at Lakshmi Narain College of Technology, Bhopal

If you do not have the option to join any government colleges and getting jobs is a concern, then LNCT is the place to be. With good grades, you may even get a job offer with a package of 3 to 4 LPA.

However, if you are hoping for a more comprehensive development of your personality, the answer is no. At the institute, you will have to write assignments, wear uniforms, maintain attendance, and participate in no extracurricular activities for four years.

There will also be insufficient learning in terms of both coding and soft skills. If you wish to pursue a career in the IT sector, you should seek out a suitable university, as RGPV teaches in an outdated manner, with only a few subjects taught that are relevant in today's technological advances.

The table shows a brief overview of the institution.

Highest Salary

19 lakhs

Average Salary

3.5 lakhs

Recruiters

Wipro, TCS, Capgemini, etc.

In comparison to other institutions in Bhopal, LNCT is the top college in Bhopal that is associated with RGPV, and you have a better chance of getting a job there. Overall, it depends on your preference.

Which college is better for IT, IET DAVV Indore or SGSITS Indore?

SS
Souvick Sengupta Posted On : April 21st, 2021
Studied at IET DAVV

Both the colleges are similar to each other for the IT branch and provide equal facilities to their students, but IET DAVV is a little better than SGSITS. 

  • Academics: The IT department at SGSITS was established in 2000, so it can be termed as new as compared to IET DAVV or other reputed colleges. But the IT department at IET DAVV was established in September 1996, so it is much better and older than SGSITS.
  • Faculty: Both the colleges have great faculty who are talented and experienced in their subjects and some of them have even completed their PhDs from top IITs and IISC. 
  • Fees: IET DAVV is a self-financed college and the fees are similar for all the branches and it is 65000 per annum. The fees of the IT branch at SGSITS are a little higher than IET DAVV and it is 70000 per annum. 
  • Placements: The placements of both these colleges have been excellent and many top companies including Adobe, Cognizant, Infosys, and many others have been visiting the campus and offering jobs to many students with good packages. In SGSITS, the IT students must have a higher than 7.5 pointer to sit for campus interview, while CSE branch students must have a 6.5 pointer or higher.
  • Exposure: SGSITS has an advantage as it is much older than IET DAVV, so it has more reputation in the state. But IET DAVV is also a reputed institute and provides a wide range of exposure to its students. 
  • Extra-Curricular Activities: IET DAVV takes advantage of extracurricular activities like college fests, fresher's programs, and many others functions that are much better than at SGSITS. 

As both these colleges are similar to each other in every other aspect except a few, so you can choose anyone according to your preferences.

B.Tech in Electronics and Communication Engineering, Heritage Institute of Technology, Kolkata

IEM Kolkata IT will be comparably better. Although IEM has pretty strict rules in place, it offers better opportunities in terms of academics and placements. According to the stats of recent IEM placements, each year around 90% of students get placed each year from IT. The highest CTC for the branch is INR 40 LPA. 

Heritage Institute of Technology is a good option, if you want to pursue research or MS, further.

Which is the better option - PICT for IT, VIT Pune for IT, or WCE Sangli for CSE?

AC
Abhinav Chowdhury Posted On : October 13th, 2023
Lives in Pune, Maharashtra, India

My friend was in a similar dilemma when he was left with these three options. Based on his experience, PICT is the best option in Pune for computers. The institute provides an environment and resources suitable for working on quality projects. The academic ambiance is excellent and you will get a chance to develop yourself. Students with a good CGOA bag good offers while some open their own startups.

WCE is a decent college with a good campus and faculty pool. The students make it to average companies like TCS Infosys cognizant. It’s the best college in the Kolhapur and Solapur University area. Most students opt for a job rather than pursuing higher studies.

VIT has the added advantage of being in Pune so if you ever face this situation, choose VIT over WCE. The preference order therefore is, PICT>VIT>WCE.

Which one should I choose, IT in Surathkal or MNNIT, Allahabad?

SD
Souvick Das Posted On : April 29th, 2021
Software Engineer at Microsoft

MNNIT Allahabad offers similar opportunities for IT and CSE branches. Other than a few subjects, the curriculum, faculty, and career opportunities are more or less the same for NIT Allahabad. 

Though Surathkal is promising a better university life with beaches and all. 

NIT Allahabad houses one of the country's biggest and brightest CSE departments. Here you're getting a good, competitive, and coding-oriented environment. Seniors are very supportive and the course is good. But the location is quite remote so if you belong to a metro city, you will be disappointed with the city life. 

In terms of placements, both institutes are almost on the same level. 

Parameters 

MNNIT Allahabad

NIT Surathkal

Average CTC

9.6 LPA

10.8 LPA

Highest CTC

39 LPA

51.5 LPA

Another important aspect you can factor in while choosing is the distance of the institute from your home and choose the nearlest.
